PG15 – Party party party!

Tyler: Germany has been taken over by football fever, so today's show is all about party and painting the town red.

Lisa: Gestern Abend hat Deutschland es so richtig krachen lassen. Unsere Fußballmannschaft ist in der Europameisterschaft ins Halbfinale gekommen. In der ganzen Stadt herrschte eine Bombenstimmung.

Tyler: Yeah, it was great to see the German football team finally come into form against a strong Portuguese side. After winning 3 goals to 2, Freiburg was taken over by a fantastic party spirit.

Lisa: Da wir mitten in der Stadt wohnen, mussten wir mitbekommen, dass die Party bis in die Puppen ging. Ich konnte leider nicht so richtig auf den Putz hauen, weil ich heute Morgen schon wieder früh raus musste. So richtig schlafen konnte ich aber auch nicht, weil direkt vor unserer Haustür ganz schön Remmidemmi war.

Tyler: All hell had broken loose and with all the fireworks, singing, hooting and hoopla you would have thought that Germany had just won the World Cup finals. It was really fun because although it was a weeknight, the whole city was rocking and the German fans partied until they dropped.

Lisa: Auch meine Kollegen haben mir heute Morgen erzählt, dass sie gefeiert haben bis zum Abwinken. Ich muss sagen, man hat es ihnen auch angesehen, dass sie die Sau rausgelassen haben. Obwohl sie in einem Vorort von Freiburg wohnen, war auch bei ihnen die Hölle los.

Tyler: And to think that it was just the quarter finals. I can't wait to see the pandemonium if the Germans make it through the semis - let alone win the tournament!

Lisa: Da kommt dann richtig Schwung in die Bude!

First something to get you into the football spirit:

And now a tune to get you rocking: Deichkind is a Hip-Hop / Electro band formed in Hamburg in 1999. Deichkind's characteristic lyrics consist of irony an humour. Nowdays they do a lot of appearances in House and Electro clubs and describe their new fast electronic rhythms as TechRap. I've included the lyrics below for your sing along pleasure.

Deichkind - Remmidemmi (Yippie yippie yeah!)

Deine Eltern sind auf einem Tennisturnier
Du machst eine Party, wie nett von dir
Impulsive Menschen kennen keine Grenzen
Schmeiß die Möbel aus dem Fenster
wir brauchen Platz zum Dancen

Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah krawall und Remmidemmi

Ein bisschen Gold und Silber
Ein bisschen Glitzer Glitzer
Habt ihr nichts zum Fressen hier
Ich will Pizza
Deine Mutter hat gesagt "Tragt nicht soviel Dreck rein"
Auf dem Foto in der Küche sieht sie aus wie Katja Ebstein

Wir tanzen auf den Tischen
Die Stimmung ist beschissen
Ich will nackt sein
Im Pool kann man sich erfrischen
Die Boxen von deinem Vater nehme ich mit in die Sauna
Ich mache einen aufguss mit der Hausbar
Und dann dreh ich lauter

Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah krawall und Remmidemmi

Privat bei reichen Eltern,was kann es schöneres geben.
